Building a strong marathon culture isn’t just about running races overseas; it’s about fostering a vibrant local community that supports, inspires, and grows together. In this insightful discussion, SportPlus.sg highlights the importance of building a marathon culture right here in Singapore, and explores the risks our running community faces if we don’t look beyond overseas marathons. Despite the global appeal of overseas races, Singapore’s marathon culture still falls short of the full race experience many find abroad. This trend threatens participation in local races, as more runners prioritize “runcations” overseas over local events. We dive into why developing a marathon culture in Singapore is essential—not just for growing the running community, but also for enhancing social cohesion, inclusivity, economic growth, sporting excellence, and fostering a national identity through sport. 0:00–0:11 – Hosts intro 0:12–0:47 – Guest introduction: Sophie, founder of Happy Pace Club 0:48–1:42 – Sophie's first race and experience 1:43–2:19 – Hosts share their first race experiences 2:20–3:02 – Marathon culture in Singapore, inspiration to start cheering zones 3:03–4:32 – Importance of cheering, impact on runners 4:33–6:31 – Marathon atmosphere overseas vs Singapore, medal pride 6:32–8:12 – Pre-marathon programming: ShakeOut run, panel, zones, recovery, flea market 8:13–10:12 – Race day: Cheer zones, post-party, medal portraits 10:13–12:00 – Making cheer signages, sharing funny and inspiring signboards Cheering Runners on and Bringing the Local Running Community Together: The High Panter : https://www.sportplus.sg/post/cheering-runners-on-and-bringing-the-local-running-community-together-the-high-panters?utm_ Visit our official website https://www.sportplus.sg for more sports, fitness and wellness content, content suitable from high performance to everyday athletes! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe to our channel for more content like this: https://bit.ly/3BmtG3T + Follow us on our Platforms + Website: https://www.sportplus.sg TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@sportplussg Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sportplussg Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sportplus.sg
